The Surat Metro is an under-construction rapid transit rail system for Surat in the Surat Metropolitan Region, Gujarat state of India.

History

In August 2012, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) proposed four rail routes for the metro project.^[5]^[6] The Government of Gujarat approved two corridors in January 2017.^[7]

The union government approved the project on 11 March 2019.^[8] It will be implemented by Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Limited and financed mainly through equity from Government of India and Government of Gujarat on 50:50 basis and loan from bilateral/ multilateral agencies.^[9] AFD has committed to lend 250 million euros for the project, which was signed on January 28, 2021.^[10] On 9 March 2019, the Public Investment Board (PIB) approved ₹12,000 crore (US$1.4 billion) for the project.^[11] On 17 December 2021, Germany Development Bank KfW and Government of India signed a €442.26 million loan pact towards the project.^[12]

In June 2020, the construction bids were invited for Phase-1.^[13]

The foundation of the project was laid on 18 January 2021 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.^[14]^[4] Construction was expected to be completed by the end of 2024.^[15] However, as of July 2023, the deadline for the completion of the first phase has been rescheduled to December 2027, due to some slowdowns and delays in work.^[1]
